Yesterday my calorie goal was 1,570. This morning I logged an almost 2lb loss and now my calorie goal is 1,600! What gives??

    30 calories is about half of a saltine cracker. It's really nothing at all.

    Did you input more exercise or that you're more active? Maybe it thinks you're losing weight too quickly - is that in the algorithms?

    Could be you were losing too quickly.

    Yea I'm not stressing it. Just thought it was odd. I don't log any exercise since I mostly just walk. (And not enough to really matter) I haven't changed my activity. I've lost 11lbs since early Jan. So I'm pretty sure that's not too quick.

    The calories mfp suggest can change if you change any of your input in the 'goals' page. Or if you change or stats in your profile, e.g. your height.
    If all of a sudden they change to higher, you must have changed either your weight to higher, your height to higher, you weekly weight loss goal to lower or your activity to higher or any combination of the above.
    Or it is a bug.
